Well this is my view from the last 8 wks...pillows propping the leg up. Looks pretty good actually in this photo, but you should see the 7" scar on the lateral side of my ankle. Now that the swelling comes and goes, I can feel screw heads under the skin. Word of wisdom....don't do this to yourself!!!!

On the positive side of things, I actually have been cleared to walk w/o crutches and walking boot and even ride. I must be a healing machine since the original time frame was 3-6 mths in a boot. Whew! So this week, I've actually done 3 road rides which has helped with my mentality. It is amazing that my injury in healing quickly but my pride is now hurting seeing the power and HR values on the SRM. I have lost sooooo much fitness in 8 wks and then looking at the 7 lbs that I've lost...I know that it was muscle from my leg. Oh well it will be a new experience to start base training in August!
